The tax bureau conducted an on-site inspection. Brother Xiong instructed the finance department to bring out the required account statements and cleared the meeting room to receive them. Sister Hui arranged for two young ladies to serve them tea and water, but two days later, an official notice was issued: the fitness club is suspected of tax evasion, and business operations are suspended until the issue is clarified.
During this period, Brother Xiong has become much more haggard.
A member requested a refund, and Sister Hui and Brother Xiong set up a table at the entrance to process refunds as requested, without any discounts.
Some members also confirmed whether the business can still operate and when it can reopen. Brother Xiong and Sister Hui patiently reassured and explained.
Whenever there's time, Qin Chizian goes to the sports center to accompany Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong smiles wryly and says, "Xiao Qin, you don't need to come over during this time." Qin Chizian responds, "It's okay, Brother Xiong, you don't need to pay me for my time."
Brother Xiong handed over a cigarette: "Here, come and have a smoke with me."
As for the transfer of the storefront, Qin Chizian didn't mention it at all.
One week later in the evening, Zhang Guohua personally brought a car to find Qin Chizian and took him to the Jinhe District Government courtyard.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, they found a newly arranged gym, complete with dumbbells, barbells, fitness chairs, bench presses, exercise balls, balance boards, ab wheels, and even a fitness aerobics classroom.
Uncle Qi is warming up and when he sees Qin Chizian arriving, he wipes his sweat and greets him: "Xiao Qin, I'll need you to come here every evening during this time."
Qin Chizian wants to ask Brother Xiong about the sports center, but he holds back. He has said what needs to be said, Uncle Qi has also promised to pay attention. Let's wait a little longer.
Qiu Guodong: "I can't wait any longer: 'Lao Wu, did you talk to your boss about the matter last time?'"
Qin Chizian: "The boss said he didn't evade taxes, prepared the materials, and is ready to report to the relevant departments!"
Qiu Guodong disdainfully: "Let me tell my brother-in-law and his friend... the enterprise is really daring to challenge the tax bureau, your boss has some nerve!"
Qin Chizian thinks: "Damn, even if I can't bring you down, I'll still make you suffer a bit."
Qin Chizian asked Brother Xiong to drink, and after drinking too much, he held Qin Chizian's hand and cried, "Brother, why is it so hard for us common people to do something!"
Zhou Guosheng came to the dorm to see Qiu Guodong, accompanied by Qiu Guoli, the two of them harmoniously singing and playing music together.
Zhou Guosheng handed a cigarette to each student: "I'm treating everyone today, so let's all go."
In the private room of Xiangli Renjia, Zhou Guosheng arranged for Qiu Guodong to sit with his back to the door and pulled Qin Chizian to sit on his right.
Zhou Guosheng and everyone had three drinks together, then he let everyone eat whatever they wanted, and asked Qin Chizian: "Brother Xiao Qin, I heard that Chief Qi is your paternal uncle?"
Qin Chizian looked around and said, "Brother Zhou, Uncle Qi doesn't want me to talk nonsense... Here, let me toast to you!"
Zhou Guosheng's eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Qin Chizian, then glanced at Qiu Guodong, his expression quite complex.
It was another weekend, and Qin Chizian felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
Just as I was about to lie down for a while, the phone in the dormitory rang. The boss answered and shouted, "Qin Chizian, it's for you."
Brother Xiong boomed, " Xiao Qin, hurry over, several customers are specifically asking for you!" Then he hung up the phone.
Darn, what does it mean to "poke" me? What have I become?
Of course, that's not important. What's important is that Brother Xiong's sports center has reopened!
A big red banner is hung at the entrance, with two rows of flower baskets placed. The most prominent flower basket is inscribed with "For the health of the people and the success of the market economy - Presented by the People's Government of Jinhe District."
A group of people looked at Hualan and pointed, saying:
"This boss is awesome, even the district sent people to deliver flowers to Hualan!"
"Have you heard? The troublemaker here is spreading rumors that this place is evading taxes and has had their doors sealed. But the case has been reported to the local district, and the Local Tax Bureau has conducted a thorough investigation and found no problems."
"It seems like someone from the tax office below has a friend who is jealous of this business and promised to give that person a 20% stake. They intentionally found an excuse to force the business to close, hoping that the owner would give up and they could take over at a lower price."
"This kind of person is so damn bad!"
"Yeah, this kind of person needs to be properly dealt with!"
Zhou Guosheng walked over and also heard it, his face turning red and then white.
The television station and radio station are filming and conducting interviews. The Evening News also sent people, the same two reporters as last time.
The results of the investigation are out. Not only did Brother Xiong not engage in tax evasion, but he has also become a tax-paying model citizen. A Deputy Director from the local tax bureau specially awarded him a certificate and a plaque.
Brother Xiong grinned widely, looking very happy.
Zhou Guoshun and Brother Xiong warmly shook hands: "Manager Xiong, I am the person in charge of our tax office in this area. In the future, please keep in touch if there is anything, and similar work mistakes will not happen again!"
Brother Xiong: "Okay, Zhou, with your words, I feel much more at ease."
Zhou Guosheng pulled Qiu Guodong over again: "This is my little nephew, he's in the same class and dormitory as our brother Xiao Qin, they have a good relationship!"
Brother Xiong: "I've heard Xiao Qin talk about it, I've heard Xiao Qin talk about it! They are all brothers, so when they have nothing to do, they come and hang out with Xiao Qin."
Qin Chizian chuckled in the dark, this Northeasterner buddy has also become a lively people person.
4.
Zhang Guohua is usually very busy, but when he goes out, he instructs, "Put everything else aside this morning."
Sister Hui brought people to pick up the pair of flower baskets sent by Zhang Guohua. After looking at the words on the ribbons, she felt a bit silly and hurried to call Brother Xiong. Zhang Guohua looked around at the crowd coming and going and asked, "Why haven't I seen Xiao Qin?"
Brother Xiong: "I'm so busy that I forgot about him."
Qin Chizian: "As soon as I arrived, Brother Xiong dragged me aside and asked, 'Who exactly is Brother Zhang?'"
Qin Chizian: "......"
Whenever reporters are interviewing, the figure of Zhang Guohua always appears inadvertently in the picture.
Brother Xiong looks so arrogant.
Zhou Guosheng asked Qin Chizian: "Xiao Qin, I heard that Director Zhang from the district is also here... Can you introduce my brother to him?"
Qin Chizian readily agreed, "Sure, Bother Zhou."
Bringing Zhou Guosheng to Zhang Guohua, he said, "Brother Zhang, let me introduce you: this is Director Zhou from our local tax office, who has shown great care and support for our work here!"
Zhang Guohua was taken aback, and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Qin Chizian's words. He looked at Zhou Guosheng's outstretched hands but did not reach out to shake them: "So you are Zhou Guosheng? The district has repeatedly emphasized the need to build a service-oriented government and improve the business environment. You guys have set a good example!"
Although it sounded like praise, why did Zhou Guosheng turn pale?
